(Published in the second edition of The Phish Companion...) There always seems to be a stigma with reviews of Phish shows, that someone's review or opinion is almost always wrong about how good or bad a given show is. More recently since the...

In order to fully appreciate this show, you should really check out the many videos available on YouTube. The first set is solid, nothing too amazing, unless you were under the influence of mescaline and practically ran for your life when they played David Bowie. But I digress... As Trey...

This journey started at our house in Denver during a college party that we were hosting. I had just caught my first two shows having seen Jazz Fest show and 2nd night a Red Rocks. My buddy comes up to me pretty damn close to midnight and says "I just got two tickets to see Phish in Omaha and we...

Wow, another hot Fall 1996 show from the Mid-West. This second set was a bit wild, especially the Vibration->Kung->Catapult and huge tribute to the lighting crew during Axilla/Suzy. You can feel good about Hood in this show and We're an American Band was a special treat. I never really knew...

This show rules. Anyone who only listens to Clifford Ball, Deer Creek, & Halloween '96 is really missing out. As with most versions from '96 Trey nails his DWD solo. I'm not a big fan of Guyute, in fact there are likely no Phish songs I am more burnt out on. But I actually can get behind this...

my first show. bitter cold and icy outside. cops on horses checking out the scene but seemed like everyone just wanted to get inside. all GA and full but comfortable, and we were Mike side seats. Guyute and all of set 2, which was a full on rock show, were standouts for me. the Band seemed to...

SET 1: Poor Heart: Great energy coming out of the gate. You can tell Fishman is in high spirits based on him improv vocals > Down with Disease: Well played, lots of fire. Guyute: Nailed. Sounds great. Gumbo: Maple Leaf Rag tease by Scott Joplin @ 5:25 through the end. Solid Gumbo,...
